7 Sustainable Berets For Your Inner Francophile

The word on the street is that berets are back. But really my question is did they ever really go away? They been around since the time of Napoleon and were originally used by French sheepherders and the military. Which definitely makes them longer lasting than just a “trend.” They’ve also been “trendy” before, like in the 1920s, 1930s, and 50s, 60s, and 70s. Also, different groups like jazz, intellectuals, guerrillas, and black panthers have been identified with the beret so I really take issue with the idea that this is a new trend that will go away next year and never been seen again. So indulge in a “trendy” thing that has been popular and practical since the Romans with these 7 sustainable beret options.

Enhance the feminine aspects of these beautiful flowers with a flowy dress, a belted sweater and a cute pair of kitten heels. This beret has been hand-knitted with traditional techniques by women in their homes in a seaside village in Eastern China.

Style this camel beret with black. All black everything. An ethically made leather jacket, or a chic black coat. Handmade in the Laulhère factory that is still in the same spot it was in 1840, at the foothills of the Pyrenées Mountains in Oloron-St-Marie and the work to preserve the traditional beret making techniques.
